I have lived well over half my life (40+ years) in the Chihuahuan Desert but have traveled through, hiked and camped in every major desert of the United States and Mexico. I have also traveled the entire length of the Atacama Desert in Chile by land. Las Vegas is located on the northern edge of the Mojave Desert.
Las Vegas, NM is located 110 miles (180 km) south of Raton, New Mexico, 65 miles (105 km) east of Santa Fe, New Mexico, 122 miles (196 km) northeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico, 257 miles (414 km) south of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and 326 miles (525 km) south of Denver, Colorado.
